Facility Rental
Community Center and Sanctuary Rental
The dining hall (fellowship hall) of the Historic Bethel Presbyterian Church on Sonoma Road may be rented by individuals, community groups, non-profit organizations, and business for special events. The historic sanctuary may be rented for celebration of life services. The facility may be leased long-term by congregations seeking a permanent arrangement.
Bethel Rural Community Organization (BRCO) owns and maintains the historic Bethel Presbyterian Church on Sonoma Road. The church sanctuary is more than 130 years old and still has its original tongue and groove chestnut finish. A fellowship hall, kitchen, Sunday School classrooms, and restrooms were later added. BRCO leases the church and fellowship hall to church congregations and makes available the fellowship hall to the community for a fee. This income is used for maintenance of the facility and to ensure that the historic aspects of the church sanctuary are preserved for the enjoyment of future generations.
In keeping with BRCO's Vision of "Preserving Yesterday - Helping Today - Planning for Tomorrow" and its Mission "to coordinate local and regional resources to implement programs and projects that enhance the quality of rural life in Bethel Community," BRCO is pleased to maintain and make available this facility for the benefit of Bethel Community.
